Abstract: The invention describes a method of determining the distance (d12) between two loudspeakers (L1, L2), wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a test signal (N), combining the test signal (N) with a sound signal (S) to give a combined signal (SN) in which the test signal is imperceptible to a listener (4), and issuing the combined signal (SN) by means of a first loudspeaker (L1). The combined signal (SN) is detected by a detecting means (M2) associated with the second loudspeaker (L2) and processed to obtain an acoustic impulse response (IR), which is used to determine the distance (d1,2) between the first loudspeaker (L1) and the second loudspeaker (L2). The invention further describes a system (1) for determining the distance (d1,2) between two loudspeakers (L1, L2) and an acoustic sound system, comprising a number of loudspeakers (L1, L2, . . . , Lk) for reproduction of multi-channel sound, and a system (1) for determining the distances (d1,2, d2,3, . . . , dk-i,k) between the loudspeakers (L1, L2, . . . , Lk) in order to automatically configure the loudspeakers (L1, L2, . . . , Lk) for that acoustic sound system.

Abstract: Biological materials such as vaccines can be stabilized in certain glassy materials soluble in water. It has been proposed to form these glassy materials as a powder suspended in a non-aqueous liquid for injection into a patient. This method is complicated by the need to find suitable compatible liquids and to stop the glassy particles from congregating in liquid. These problems have been obviated by supporting the glassy material on a porous membrane remote from the eluant. When the biological material requires administration, the eluant can be passed across the membrane dissolving the glass and causing the substance to be carried by the liquid into the patient.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to carbon-carbon composites what are reinforced with PAN-based carbon fibers and which have an all pyrocarbon matrix deposited via chemical vapor infiltration and/or chemical vapor deposition. The uniquely low wear life of the C-C composites of this invention is achieved via a high initial heat treatment of the preforms made from PAN-based carbon fibers - providing a high modulus to the fibers, making them less abrasive - followed by CVI/CVD of the pyrocarbon matrix. No final heat treatment is needed to achieve the balance of hardness in the fiber and matrix. The composites of the present invention do not have pitch-based fibers or matrices nor do they have resin-based matrices.
